she but now it's time to really feel. the same if you want. a week in review on united we stand president to meet them in bed of appeals for team work to be drug trafficking on terrorism as he meets with in central asian counterparts. as locals and russian engineers its first nuclear power plant under strict supervision of the un's atomic stock. down still the time i don't know that says who would be the case of the suspected russian arms to the local appeals court in favor of hunting him open to cuba it's.

long goal russian youngsters were inspired by the recent playing for that country on how to speak for inspectors look at the country's bid to host the walled compound eight or twelve years to. a very warm welcome seat this is a lie from moscow with me have it drug trafficking and terrorism and poverty in central asia the focus of a summit this week in russia thought she president made that have hosted the leaders of afghanistan pakistan and. to outline a set of actions to combat common threats. that we think about julia how do you tell. us a little bit which just. which way the school. yes and they weren't just talking

weather terrorism poverty and one other burning topix took a front seat as russia hosted its three central asian neighbors in sochi but real quiet on medical group always focused on the drug because it's a crude problem we should face up to it together. with afghanistan russia can shoulder the problem. it was no coincidence president medvedev singled out these two countries again as stan is the world's largest opium producer russia the world's largest consumer what costs one country thirty thousand human lives a year is a profitable business for the other makes fifty two percent of the of going to g.d.p. now and in the hairy market i think it's going to stay. at record as not to far ninety percent of the whole market so we whole economy is based on a drug if there is even a term that afghanistan is a drug based economy afghan heroin kills more russians in six months than the whole

ten year long soviet military complain killed soldiers that's why russia is keen to take the lead in fighting the threat every third person who dies of opium abuse is in russia and the paul just fuels and other worldwide evil terrorists and this is what also really touches russia's role. russia may not be directly involved in the war in afghanistan but it is sensitive to the instability the conflict is causing in the region and many believe the two main security threats drug trafficking and islamic radicalism will not be defeated while made as again toward rages on their current meeting is very important you know as americans and european allies have failed in solving the problem i think russia now can contribute very much and russian president has taken over the prudent approach that he tries to follow. the problem complex he tried to told directly to the leaders of

all those contras involved so russia seeks political solution me should be very reassured his neighbors alongside the police school will then come financial support russia's already written no really last question of again a stand down the final chunk of twelve billion dollars and more how it will come in the form of helicopters and other military hardware securing tourist waters seems from the outside a mission impossible but by bringing the cool neighbors of this troubled region together russia's scheme to show it is a new mood to beat up the plight if you didn't much of our team from sochi. on saturday the middle east or its first nuclear power plant switched on in iran southern city of bush said the reactor built by russia has started operating under the strict control of the un it's hollow watchdog artie's a glamour boy to report on the launch that took place despite international

concerns over two pounds nuclear ambitions. more than thirty years in the making with a price tag of over two billion dollars by all accounts the nuclear power plant is an expensive undertaking and one for which iran has spared no expense the chaparral have always been more than just an education or reading isolated for all it's a symbol of the country's social progress and proof of what's good for interactions well for a lot of critics the embodiment of the family republican ideological backwardness and a vivid example of building bridges and diplomatic bargaining chip for years the station has finally come closer to fulfilling its practical purpose but the first batch of nuclear fuel just loaded into the reactor the station is expected to start producing electricity by the end of this year but iran's top nuclear officials says it's already for celebration we are grateful to the people for russia to the government of pressure to our great friends in russia that were. instrumental

in making us witnessing today. had not been the assistance of the russians certainly would not have been witnessing such a great deal with temperatures well over forty degrees centigrade the plant is a vivid example of why iran needs to produce more even with air conditioning running at full tilt the heat is still too much to bear for years russia's top nuclear fishel sergei kerry younker has been working up a sweat to defend moscow's cooperation with iran. it's a unique venture because it's very difficult to build new equipment into the equipment that was there from the start the power plant is an international project over ten countries supply the equipment european countries as well as asia pacific countries while some countries remain concerned about iran's use of russian nuclear few people of pushchair also have reasons to be fearful valeri in their lead. i

have been working at the station for three years leave the sas initially she was apprehensive about bringing their children to iran for medical reasons but knows she and her husband have other concerns over here knowing that we just saw reports online claiming israel's planning to bomb it's scary when they do local training here there is shooting in airplanes are flying you never know if it's real or not maybe they're preparing for something to many here is a real threat to bomb the station involved painful memories of the 1980's when saddam hussein's old tillery berridge the c.-t. causing substantial damage to the station itself yet iranian officials are confident history won't repeat itself. we are not too soon because we know this is a game so international rules are tending to need new communities solution and these are on the for the purpose. off to be. it's

a psychological war we do not take it serious although we are aware we are vigilant but this does not mean there are what they are saying that it's a serious russia's role in supplying fuel and technology to iran may unsettle some but it could also prevent further confrontation between the two neighbors adding yet another dimension to phrase enrichment for peaceful purposes that's unavoidable artsy will share iran. still to come in the program. find out how a ball ten day he was supposed to be taking a day all ended up in the middle of a terrorist attack. coming up make sure that. the government of thailand says they will make the final is whether the suspected russian arms dealer viktor boot will be extradited to the u.s.

on friday a thai appeals court rejected he could one day of the to washington to face charges of terrorism and links to armed conflict in the in the hour moscow how strongly condemned the routing saying it's politically motivated was arrested in bangkok to haul three years ago a sting operation by u.s. laurent forces and has been kept behind balls ever since company that is out of a hospital. hollywood florida who are there over five hundred fifty million firearms in the world wide circulation. that's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. the only question is. how do we arm the other eleven and his allegedly real life prototype russian businessman victor boot nicknamed the merchant of death denied all accusations of arms selling and laughed off parallels i don't know very sort of. the to play this out a lot for this very silly and i feel pity for it's been over his statement never

change even when it came from behind bars in the infamous bangkok hilton but that did not stop the thai appeals court from ordering his extradition to the united states despite the fact that the country's criminal court earlier refused to do just that the ruling has outraged not only his family but his native country as well so the war was started at a time i appeal court has made this political decision but according to the information we have this ruling was made under very strong outside pressure and this is of sitting with a group that is for the interests of this russian citizen we've been assisting him for all these months we've been in touch with his lawyers in this family and will continue to do our best to get him returned to his homeland and now the question everyone is asking is what does victor boot know to make the americans want him this badly victor board is a walking intelligence treasure trove has a phenomenal phenomenal photographic memory and because the book knows too much he

is more dangerous than we kill weeks for the u s smuggling role in weapons in not only in africa and latin america but all over the world but how many people are willing to give the type of credit given to him by the u.s. he's possibly a merchant of some death but he certainly isn't the man the u.s. made you would call them merchants. i mean around quite a large a lot of operation in. and i would think that ninety five percent of his long. were ordinary commercial goods are. washing powder all sorts of things so we're only talking about five percent of the cargoes possibly being. legal in a long and drawn out extradition hearing it took over two years the united states changed added and modify their charges against mr boot to include violating international trade laws as well as arms trafficking his family believes at some

point it became a process for the process instead of a process for justice but with this decision. if you will has demonstrated that the work of the criminal court has no value at all with evidence gathering the questioning of my witnesses or work that needs to relate to victor's extradition to the us has been thrown away the courts of appeal is controlled by the tiny government directly and saw huge pressure from the us this trial may be over but his tribulations are far from it he faces years in prison and have to find all possible scenarios the only one bankable is a hollywood one. the signal to hollywood florida boy is already rumored to be in the making but if that move may have to wait a lot longer than ordinary moviegoers to see their really. shattered our art moscow . a suspected organizer of the deadly moscow metro bombings has been killed by

makes his leave and makes him cocktails he's the barman at one of the patagonians cafes on the street the locals call broadway as a favor to a colleague he agreed to swap shifts and it just after four in the afternoon last tuesday he and astute what the change actually meant this is just like coral and i were the new frankly i didn't want to go to work that day so i was glad when it rained heavy rain i thought it would be cooler outside unless people in the cafe just said if the weather didn't change in the next hour we could all go home ten minutes later i was picking him from under the rubble of the cafe. it all happened quickly as if something really big moving at high speed foul from the sky a car stuffed with explosives parked near the cafe blew up leaving many people injured and a huge hole where mika's cafe wants to. go i don't pretend i was on the phone

that's what my left ear is ok i started shouting because my is part i didn't have any thoughts until i got up and saw the current pieces then i turned back and saw no one where there should be people so as if on auto pilot i went to help them out do not see it though i had to return to the scene later the shot of the gas to prevent another explosion has just left hospital and returned to the scene he's reluctant to be alone and wants someone close to him while top of this area still sealed by police has become a meeting point for the survivors see i've got breezes here and then enter a bottle i say ok i was sitting with my back to the chair i can get one dreadful moment of my mind there was a guy the last one on in the blast and they gave him a cloth he covered his face and then he wanted to look at the cloth he couldn't and panicked with these stories are stored in their memories for good lucky to be alive

. to friends and retelling affray detail of the day. i saw me kind of three to four minutes after the explosion he was a laurie one time i saw him from behind and he didn't know how badly he was injured i went to the hospital and understood that the bruises are worse than. no meat case trying to mend his line and i understand who was behind the explosion but like many others encounter groups you can't find any excuse for targeting the innocent then rain it's all a chance to prove these rather small things but after the explosion gave a new meaning to the people of p.r.c. course and as mike i mean support his friends give thanks to god for keeping him alive his biggest wish now is to leave the city so he can live a full life thanks to what he thinks was divine intervention. over r t.

on the way drug companies are often criticized for their use of animal testing but now in india they're being blamed for using people as they get paid by trying out new medicines without penalty which. is just four years into russia has the winter olympics there could be just a stage is another major sporting event football's world cup fever inspectors are assessing the country's readiness to hold the tournament neither twenty thirty or twenty twenty two and as i have been there reports that prospects already inspiring russians folk will stall the tomorrow to train harder today. for these boys football is their life they train every single day just twelve years old and if the world cup does come to russia in twenty eighteen the hopes and expectations of the nation resting on their shoulders pressure that would make

others of their age crumble but for the boys at spartak moscow is youth academy discipline and desire and more important it's not the fear of failure that drives them is the fear of missing the chance to play in a world cup on home turf they are usually very similar struck me as i really want russia to host the twenty eight year old cap is my life's purpose if we keep working hard we have a good chance of making the team but the training's no walk in the park before they can even touch the ball they must ensure a punishing nonstop fitness routine for the first hour the coaches know the boys have talent but it's their hunger that's the key this man is no stranger to that he knows what it takes to play in a world cup. it was a defender for the u.s.s.r. in the one nine hundred seventy championships bags of heard there was real madrid i was gripped by a burning desire to see the world but how could i do that in those days so i told myself that i would be a football player you know i pledged that never in my life would i smoke

a cigarette or drink a gram of wine or beer you know he never had the chance to play in a world cup at home but he knows it's something not to be missed a bizarre turn playing in front of your own fans hearing the whole country's support behind you is something you can't beat as a footballer you want nothing else i never got the chance but if these boys do it'll change their lives god who pulls a matter of national pride in russia this is how the country reacted when the team reached the semifinals of the two thousand and eight european championships the. hope this support will swing fief is vote this. the most important thing is the football is a national sport which is loved in every city and village in this country with. the found support here is unconditional they just want more to cheer about you know winning this will help it's got me over a sea of that with a world cup at home would give the youth coaches an impetus so that by two thousand

there are several talented young players to defend on or a fresh. emblems of pressure on their chest. is the only thing these boys dream. i've been it's. international pharmaceutical companies are on to fire for allegedly testing new drugs on people in india without their consent around two million people are estimated to be taking part in clinical trials in the country and even those who do sign up told the full story about potentially dangerous side effects. india government run hospitals provide treatment to the poor but there are increasing claims that being made guinea pigs in drug trials for western pharma companies without their knowledge here at the. hospital in indoor the north has been taking pills for the last six months on the advice of his doctor

he suspects these being experimented upon and maybe get to me i had a pain in my abdomen they did all sorts of tests and gave me all sorts of pills to have in the morning of the noon at night but i haven't got any. rational account they can test any medication they like on the. allegations have surfaced in the media that the hospital conducts illegal drug trials on patients police are investigating the complaint the hospital official say any trials are being conducted in accordance with government guidelines india is fast becoming a global hotspot for testing new drugs with two million people estimated to be taking part in clinical trials group without their consent cothurnus drug trials are increasing here because they cost just one sixth of what they do in the west the regulatory system here is comparatively corrupt form the companies can easily register patients and to introduce giving informed consent to be part of an

experiment is the golden rule of all clinical trials but many patients here sign on the dotted line without understanding the nature and the consequences of what's being administered to them i mean are americans or treaty indians guinea pigs the patients being use for trolls already through school they don't even know details of the drug that it is a drug trial this is an ethical. patient sometimes sign up out of desperation to them experimental health care is better than not at all. but he has agreed to let her child be treated with a new drug which she's been told will bring his fever down. to cheap minty street sound happy with it. there are regulations in place to monitor drug trials including setting up ethics committees and hospitals to ensure patient safety but

these are often used by doctors to simply rubber stamp trials so maybe. it's a very ad hoc system that is misused for instance a medical institute in foreign women by gives permission for a drug trial in cities like indoor popal in general poor how can you use permission from an ethical committee of another institute in another city just to find drug trials in an institute here with her one thousand three hundred drug trials currently being conducted in india this industry's already said to be worth over one billion dollars yet it's clear that the laws against unethical trials are not working and the government will have to come up with other ways to stop the country's poor from being enticed into medical experiments that could potentially have serious side effects got unseeing r.t. into. ok check nonsense days of international stories and brief australian prime minister judy kilometers tell the nation which independent candidate is trying to form a government office on today's election with most of the votes counted the country

police believe the government house drug dealing connections were ten people have been arrested dozens of the attack is managed to escape. the time now for the reason this week our team has been the hunger region in the north west of russia the country's affairs seaport back in the sixteenth century recognized as a regional capital it now has everything from ship building to diamonds we sent to test all failure to explore. we're now in the north of russia and the region a region which has a coastline on three arctic seas now because of its location it was extremely important in the seventeenth century as russia's first and only seaport as well as its first sea route to the west now this region became extremely wealthy because of

that city trade and monasteries were very much involved in the business in trading salt and wood and it was also here that the first arctic expeditions were outfitted as seen off the other once it was found at sea trade was made from here to st petersburg at a loss its importance now today of honda's may no longer hold the titles it once did but it is still going to be a glorious history as well as thriving traits in shipbuilding lumber as well as a budding diamond industry take a look thanks to its waterways one hundred s. is known as the gateway to the arctic but this wasn't always the case in the one nine hundred twenty s. it was called the national hard currency shop as its rich timber and paper pulp industries yielded bill lion's share of the treasury's hard currency earnings it's a controversial part of its past these industries flourished thanks to tens of thousands of prison inmates forced to work into north during stalin's time but on hunger else did make a more positive than lasting mark in history when peter the great founder of

russia's first shipyard here and it became the motherland of the country's fleet our crew visited a ship repair plant in the region which has also recently started making vessels the facility was set up in the one nine hundred fifty s. especially for repairing and retooling soviet ships and submarines in the ninety's and whenever the suv it government radically cut the number of defense contracts and the plants output phone they had no choice but to diversify and went into diamond cutting. so you know the dining the setting was one of the alternatives the idea of cutting rough diamonds in the direct to the city of the i'm going to look to truck to the. diamond field is the. name down to the local scientists and pull with me. back to the seventeenth century he said that there would diamonds in the region but the gems weren't found until much later this period opened in one nine hundred eighty two and the first diamond was extracted just five years ago not

an easy task in a water rich region the field is located smack in the middle of the marshland amid rivers and springs engineers had to build an eight kilometer long canal to divert the water flow. i don't know of any other diamond fields where the extraction conditions are so complicated. and their work is like looking for needles in a haystack in every truckload of rocks only two or three diamonds can be found but there are no ordinary dolphins. most with the poles it's produced transparent or barely colored gemstones here we find our tensely colored diamonds green even pink and blue. this side right here is one hundred meters deep and it produces about half a million cars worth of diamonds each year now this is just the beginning because they want to go deeper into the earth where the soil is richer and where the a lot more of that precious stone many women call their best friend.
